### Variable @ De Kriekelaar: A Free Libre Open Source Software Art Exhibition
Variable, the Free Libre Open Source Software Arts Lab in Schaerbeek, presented an exhibition in the foyer of De Kriekelaar. A selection of projects developed in the house was be available to the eyes and ears of the public for a month: from graphic design to photographic collage, from tactile installation to sound installation, from video to music, from e-literature to data banks on line. The common thread? Open softwares and participatory work that truly characterized Variable from beginning to end.
